Score: 6.3/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 7, Utility: 6)

Spud is a cross-platform remote control tool written in Rust that sends local keyboard/mouse input to a remote server, optimized for gaming latency. It fills a niche between full-featured streaming solutions like Parsec and simpler tools like Synergy, with tunable protocol parameters for responsiveness. The project is interesting for its focus on input-only remote control with low-latency and support for multiple desktop environments.

Target audience: gamers, backend devs, devops
